Hello Squirrels.

English

I had a go at writing my story using my story plan. I think that I may have made a few mistakes though. Can you help me to edit and improve my work? I have used pink lines to show where I need some help. Thank you for helping.

Maths

Today I would like you to weigh out some ingredients for cooking. It could be the ingredients for baking something yummy or ingredients for your dinner. How much do you need to measure out?

I am having potatoes with my dinner tonight. I wonder how much a potato weighs? I wonder how much it will weigh once I have peeled the skin off? Do you think it will weigh more or less with the skin off?

History

To end our space topic I would like you to look at a famous astronaut and answer some questions. You could choose Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin or Tim Peake.

Why are they famous?

What did they do up in space?

What was it like up in space?

Would you like to be an astronaut? Why?

Fact of the day.

Space junk is any human-made object orbiting Earth that non longer serves a useful purpose. Scientists estimate there are about 500,000 pieces of space junk today, including bits from rockets and satellites, and everyday objects like spanners which were dropped when they were building the International Space Station!

Joke of the day.

When do astronauts eat their lunch?
